Psalms 31:1-18

11In You, O LordH3068, I have takenH2620 refugeH2620; Let me neverH408H5769 2be ashamedH954; 3In Your righteousnessH6666 deliverH6403 me.24InclineH5186 Your earH241 to me, rescueH5337 me quicklyH4120; Be to me a 5rockH6697 of 6strengthH4581, A strongholdH4686 to saveH3467 me.3For You are my 7rockH5553 and 8my fortressH4686; For 9Your name’sH8034 sakeH4616 You will leadH5148 me and guideH5095 me.4You will 10pullH3318 me out of the netH7568 whichH2098 they have secretlyH2934 laidH2934 for me, For You are my 11strengthH4581.512Into Your handH3027 I commitH6485 my spiritH7307; You have 13ransomedH6299 me, O LordH3068, 14GodH410 of 15truthH571.

6I hateH8130 those who 16regardH8104 17vainH7723 idolsH1892, But I 18trustH982 in the LordH3068.7I will 19rejoiceH1523 and be gladH8055 in Your lovingkindnessH2617, BecauseH834 You have 20seenH7200 my afflictionH6040; You have knownH3045 the troublesH6869 of my soulH5315,8And You have not 21givenH5462 me overH5462 into the handH3027 of the enemyH340; You have setH5975 my feetH7272 in a largeH4800 placeH4800.

9Be graciousH2603 to me, O LordH3068, for 22I am in distressH6887; My 23eyeH5869 is wastedH6244 awayH6244 from griefH3708, 24my soulH5315 and my bodyH990 also.10For my lifeH2425 is spentH3615 with 25sorrowH3015 And my yearsH8141 with sighingH585; My 26strengthH3581 has failedH3782 because of my iniquityH5771, And 27my 28bodyH6106 has wastedH6244 awayH6244.11BecauseH4480 of allH3605 my adversariesH6887, I have becomeH1961 a 29reproachH2781, EspeciallyH3966 to my 30neighborsH7934, And an objectH6343 of dreadH6343 to my acquaintancesH3045; Those who seeH7200 me in the streetH2351 fleeH5074 from me.12I am 31forgottenH7911 as a deadH4191 manH4191, out of mindH3820; I amH1961 like a brokenH6 vesselH3627.13For I have heardH8085 the 3233slanderH1681 of manyH7227, 34TerrorH4032 is on everyH5439 sideH5439; While they 35tookH3245 counselH3245 togetherH3162 againstH5921 me, They 36schemedH2161 to takeH3947 away my lifeH5315.

14But as for me, I trustH982 in You, O LordH3068, I sayH559, “37You are my GodH430.”15My 38timesH6256 are in Your handH3027; 39DeliverH5337 me from the handH3027 of my enemiesH340 and from those who persecuteH7291 me.16Make Your 40faceH6440 to shineH215 upon Your servantH5650; 41SaveH3467 me in Your lovingkindnessH2617.17Let me not be 42putH954 to shameH954, O LordH3068, for I callH7121 upon You; Let the 43wickedH7563 be putH954 to shameH954, let them 44be silentH1826 in 45SheolH7585.18Let the 46lyingH8267 lipsH8193 be muteH481, Which 47speakH1696 arrogantlyH6277 againstH5921 the righteousH6662 With prideH1346 and contemptH937.
